Pair of Empire Style Table Lamps with Patinated Black Bronze and Gilded Mounts

Elegant pair of Empire/neoclassical style table lamps, vintage mid-20th century (likely converted from old candelabras). • Base: Fluted metal column with deep black patina (bronze or art bronze), stable square base in wood or black patinated metal. Applied mounts in gilded bronze: rings/garlands draped around the column, very decorative and typical of the French Empire style. • Shaft: Moulded capital and base, with golden accents superbly contrasting with the black patina. • Lampshade: Two conical lampshades in black velvet or satin fabric, with a gold inner lining for a beautiful light reflection. Electrified with standard E14 socket & inline switch. Functional and ready to use. • Total height with lampshade: 34 cm; • Height without lampshade or bulb: 21 cm; • Base 6.5x6.5 cm; Very good overall condition, authentic and even patina, no visible breakage or major losses on the mounts. Some normal signs of use for the age (slight rubbing on the patina). No rust or exposed wires. Regency/Empire revival style, perfect for classic decor, boudoir, bedroom or refined living room. Decorative and luminous pieces, creating a warm atmosphere with light softened by the black shades lined in gold. Sold as a pair, ideal for symmetry on a dresser or bedside tables.
